No: As long as you have a safe source of water, she is able to use water from your tap. All the best.

Bottled water: I consider most bottled water to be unsafe as it does not contain the fluoride necessary to protect her permanent teeth, which are forming) from decay. Your tap water should be perfectly fine. As she is teething, now is the time (but no later than 1st birthday) she should be scheduled with a Dentist or Pedodontist for her 1st dental exam. NEVER put her to bed with a bottle.
